Victoria Mboko is champion of the National Bank Open in Montreal

Incredible.Mboko became the first Canadian to win the OBN in Montreal. Need I remind you that she’s only 18 years old?This victory perfectly highlights the start of a career. And what better way for Mboko to break into the world top-25 than with this victory.

[content-ads]Interestingly, as RDS reports in this piece, Osaka was Mboko’s childhood idol.When it comes to fairytales, this is one of them.

Unfortunately, Osaka didn’t do a very good job, not even taking the time to congratulate Mboko…

While it’s a shame for the Canadiens, since she’s her idol, Mboko can leave with a smile on her face and the pride of having defeated all those big names in her path. Watch the victory trade below, and more importantly, the young player’s reaction.

Osaka seemed unbeatable recently. She appeared confident and few believed Mboko could beat her, but with what she’s shown us throughout the tournament, she couldn’t be overlooked. Leading the final set 5-1, she trailed 40-15, but pulled off a sublime shot to start the comeback.

No, but, what an incredible shot.

Decidedly, this win in front of Canadian fans will do her a world of good and will clearly give her a lot of confidence going forward. The way she was playing, this certainly isn’t her last title. [spacer title=’Overtime’] – These are good choices.
